From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

During landing rollout wind gusts overcame the motor glider and pushed the aircraft off the runway into the grass despite the correct flight control movements enter by the pilot. No damage to aircraft or airport infrastructure caused. Aircraft was recovered from the grass and taxi back to aircraft hangar parking.
